Sapphire Save Recovery

[NinjaArmy36]

Hey! I am trying to recover my childhood sapphire save. I was trying to back it up on my retron5, thought I did, turns out the saves aren't working. This was a couple years ago so I don't remember the details but would like to get them back. I tried the gen3 recover app and it didn't seem to do anything. I have attached several saves here. 1 is the oldest which is the one I would ideally like restored. The others were "saved" after trading/transferring some pokemon and somehow I have one srm that I'm not sure how I got but it seems to be missing quite alot. Thank you so much for any advice or help. Even if you guys can just point me in the correct direction that would be great. The file sizes, or at least 1 and 3 do seem correct I do know the retron messes with those and I have tried converting them with no luck, I honestly don't remember if they are already converted or not, have been trying to figure that out to help recover them. None except for the srm open in pkhex "converted" or not.

Files 1-3 are not valid save files; they're entirely zero besides 2 bytes at the start. Nothing in them.

Dang, thats really sad. Seems the retron had one job and it failed at it. Thankfully I have an analogue pocket to keep this from happening in the future. I wonder how I got that srm then. I assumed i had just converted it from one of the .sav. The good news I didn't loose the pokemon because they are transfered up to gen4/5/home. I had just really wanted to keep my childhood game in tact also. Thank you for looking into it, ill keep looking to see if I had ever backed it up before and dont remember.
